March/April BFP's who's going for it!! NEW LADIES COME JOIN IN!!

[Laelani]

Hi ladies, sorry I haven't been around much I have been simply exhausted. Work has been getting the better of me. I've been having a ton of lower back pain. I was also due for AF on the 28th and no sign of the evil witch anywhere. I am testing in the morning. I wanted to make sure that AF wasn't going to show as it's not always on time.

Sorry to hear about all of you that AF got!!!

 

[Mariahs Mom]

mzswizz - I am so sorry that AF has caught you.

brunette - if you are still bleeding you wouldn't be ovulating. You need at least a week of no bleeding to be able to ovulate. And definitely don't dtd while you're still actively bleeding. It can lead to infection as it means your cervix is still open. Our hormones do whacky things to us during a miscarriage. I've gotten stretchy stuff during my m/c's as well. Sometimes I get it during AF as well. Since your loss was quite early I'm sure it won't take long for your body to get back to normal. You might even be able to ovulate at your regular point in the cycle. I hope the bleeding stops soon.

mariahsmom - it is hard after a loss even when being pregnant again. Time doesn't really heal in that it doesn't make the loss any less of a loss. But Time does have a way of giving us new things to be happy about that eventually take the sting out of our grief. It took me several years to be able to discuss my first angel without crying and that was well after my first rainbow was born. I still tear up talking about my other angels as well. Our rainbows can never replace what we lost. They're something new and offer solace. Once this baby is safe in your arms you will be able to smile again. I can promise you that.

Thanks Starry that definitely makes me feel a lot better. I had a moment at work today and then talking to DH tonight. I am better now. I really appreciate your words and YES when I hold this baby I'm hopeful it will lessen the sting.

 

[Mariahs Mom]

Dont really have a chance unless they are able to get me in earlier instead of cd12

Ugh that sucks...hopefully they can get you in before CD12

Sorry to hear about AF Wizz.

Just wondering if any of you ladies taking Clomid can tell me if you find you're ovulating around the usual time (assuming you ovulated naturally without Clomid). Everything I've been reading is suggesting it might be a little later. I usually ovulate day 12 or 13, and did even with Femera.

 

[eyemom]

I just had my first round of Clomid so I'm by no means an expert. But I do consistently and predictably ovulate on my own. I was prepared to ovulate later than usual because I had heard the same. I ovulated exactly at the normal time for me.

 

[Pinkcasi]

Hey ladies just a fly by while feeding munchkin, I've not read back too far but I notice starry that your now 23 weeks, (yey!) have you had your anomaly scan? Do you know gender???

Hope everyone's well, I'll try to pop back properly soon but I'm so busy with everything it's so hard.

Omg what about left? Has she had bub yet? I'm missing so much

 

[ESwemba84]

Hey all! Still lurking.....

CD 17 here, but I'm pretty sure I'm out this cycle. Only DTD once a few days before ovulation, and I'm already feeling crampy. Who knows though......maybe I have a fighter in there! Time will tell.

I'm thinking of trying Clomid. I did 2 round of Femara with no luck, so maybe I'd have better luck with the other drug. Has anyone been on both, and which one did you prefer?

 

[mowat]

Hi Eswemba! So far I preferred Femera, but I'm not even finished my first round of Clomid. Definitely more symptoms with Clomid for me. I'll take them though if it leads to a BFP! When did you do Femera? I don't remember.

 

[eyemom]

Sorry you're getting symptoms on the Clomid. Hope it's not too bad.

Oh but I definitely wouldn't count on OPKs (like you would, lol). It was probably just by chance because this has happened to me once before, but this cycle I ov'd the same day as my +OPK (and I was OPK-ing like crazy so I don't think I just caught the tail end of my surge or anything).

 

[ESwemba84]

Hi Eswemba! So far I preferred Femera, but I'm not even finished my first round of Clomid. Definitely more symptoms with Clomid for me. I'll take them though if it leads to a BFP! When did you do Femera? I don't remember.

I'm pretty sure it was the beginning of last summer. Like May/June.....I had one good follicle my first cycle on CD 14, but started bleeding 8 days after ovulation (even on progesterone suppositories). My second cycle I had already ovulated when I went in on CD 12 for my follicle check.

 

[garfie]

Pink - Left hasn't had her baby up until a few days ago she just has a crappy internet at the moment - it will be anytime soon though

Ladies - I know nothing about clomid/femera - but of course it goes without saying I wish you all luck

AFM - 5DPO - does anyone else think the horizontal line is a bit high - wonder if that means anything hmmmm here I go again TWW madness

[Starry Night]

[brunettebimbo]

Girls any ideas why my chart is going up and not down!?!? It usually goes down leading up to O!

 

[Left wonderin]

Garfie sending you tons of baby dust for this cycle and tons and tons for 2014 for all the ladies on this thread awaiting their BFP and Rainbow baby

2014 is sure to be a very very lucky year for all ( double 7 ! ) ill be here to cheer ye and stalk your journeys as every cycle brings ye closer to your goal xxxxxxxx

 

[garfie]

Brunette - after a loss hun all bets are off - your body may behave a bit strange this cycle - as a m/c can send our hormones wappy

Hoping this means something good for you though

[brunettebimbo]

Eurgh I hope not! It was ok after my last one!!

 

[mowat]

That line does seem a little high... Good luck!

Symptoms aren't actually too bad so far on Clomid, just a little dizzy. Femara didn't give me any symptoms though. I'm really over thinking this bedding thing though---maybe I should tell DH it's up to him!

 

[Starry Night]

brunette - my body always behaved differently after each m/c. After my first m/c I had 3 short 18 day cycles with really, really light but long (10 days) and PAINFUL flows. Then I skipped for 3 months with nothing before getting a bfp seemingly out of the blue. That was my son. After my second m/c my first cycle was a normal length but it was HEAVY, HEAVY and I had 3 days of spotting before and one day of spotting afterwards which was then followed by an 18 day cycle with HEAVY flow and the spotting again. Then I had a normal cycle in which I got my bfp (which I lost). After my last loss I had a long, annovulatory cycle and a normal AF and then I got my bfp on the next cycle when I ov'd at my regular time.

I would say that until you get AF again I would discount anything your temps do. For sure try to dtd but you may have to "wing it".

 

[brunettebimbo]

Yep definitely looks like we will be winging it! Temperatures are still rising!

How's everyone else?
